Australian Geology Travel Maps 4+

Great app BUT why tracking at all times & could do with CarPlay

I have been using the app now for quite a few years and find it very useful. So far I have used it in WA, SA, NSW and VIC. Having said that it is not evolving, in particular;
1) It is till using location services ALWAYS time rather than the preferable While Using the App.
2) I often use the app in car, (thats why its talking to me) so why no apple car-play. I am often scatting with local laws as I drive around looking for outcrop looking at the phone and my GPS.
3) The overlay features between roads tracks and satellite are poorly resolved. Given the great public domain satellite I use it al the time.
4) What’s with state boarders? We have to toggle maps and then colours are not consistent. Try looking for outcrop near Mildura!
5) It would be great to be able to make layers invisible. If I am only interested in the Blanch-Town Clay-stone then being able to see the roads and satellite imagery around would help.
6) Unify ages so they are both named and have numeric values.
If a stone doesn’t keep rolling it will collect moss.

Developer Response ,

Hello, The Gormangast Kid.
Sorry, I wasn't alerted about your review so have only just seen it. This is a long one. Please send to me via the 'Contact us' page at trilobite.solutions web page. We can't use the review system for what will be a conversation.
The location ALWAYS will be of interest to others. It enables the app to record your trail while your SCREEN IS BLANKED OUT. This is a must - else you would burn up your battery very quickly if you had to keep the screen on.

Thanks to the developers- great app 👍🏾

Wish these tools were around 20 years ago when we were all using multiple tools in the field to do fieldwork. Hard copy printed maps with grid overlays, topo maps, some in wgs84, some in other grids, matching up by adding 160m east etc etc gps, note pad, batteries, spare batteries, laptop, spare battery for laptop etc. Then pulling it all together when you got back to the office/home hoping you hadn’t lost a note page or got water on your note pad and you hadn’t made an error on coords or confused the utm grid. For a Fieldy that’s been around, I really appreciate the effort on the app and the information provided in the associated guide. It’s also very cheap. Not sure what else reviewers expect from an app like this? Suits me out bush.

Andrew Campbell Gold Prospector

This is the most comprehensive and versatile App I have found for my needs. I prospect and detect for gold all over Australia and use it to extensively research locations before I arrive at my destinations, then it’s used in the field to pinpoint these areas of interest. The Australian Geology App is so portable and has the great advantage that it can be used in those remote areas where there is no internet. Besides using this App for gold prospecting I’m constantly using it on a daily basis when I’m travelling around Australia. What a great education tool.
The developer has created the perfect App and is to be congratulated. I can thoroughly recommend it to anybody who is travelling Australia.
